Answer:

m = 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Two ways to do this problem.  

Method 1   change the                          Method 2   If a linear equation is in

equation to slope-intercept form            standard form, ax =by = c then

8x - 6y = 1                                                  the slope = -a/b

-6y = -8x + 1                                                 In 8x - 6y = 1  a = 8 and b = -6

y = (-8x)/-6 +1/-6                                          So m = - (8)/-6 = 8/6 = 4/3

m = -8/-6= 4/3

Note:  Method 2 only works if the equation is in standard form.
